TB16 Dock power supply?
« on: February 12, 2014, 11:34:20 AM »
is there an aftermarket supply for these or what other options are there? OEM ones are expensive as hell.

TB16 is quite rare, that's why the power supplies are so expensive.

Yea they do, go to NEC Power Supplies and TG-CD/TG-16 is on the pulldown.

Edit:  By the way it's "TG-16."

If you are looking for "TB," you won't find it.  =)

When you say "Dock" this is the dock to which the CD and TG Deck go into.  That power supply is offered. (TGCD)

If you want a power supply for just the TG-16 Deck, which also works with the TB (TurboBooster/TurboBooster Plus), that power supply is also offered.  (TG16)

If you're going to use the dock, you need the dock power supply (TG16+CD), it will power the TG16. If you just want to use the bare TG16 you need the TG16 supply, or use a Genesis 1 power supply if you have one laying around.

cool, thanks. I was using a genesis one on my old turbo that broke so I'll just get the tb+cd one.

not 100% sure yet if I'll keep the dock but does the dock also double as a booster plus so i can save games to it?
